Pictured above are the four members of the B.C.-based ensemble known as Nylithia. Nylithia plays “technically invigorating death/speed metal” that will “make you want to literally thrash ’til you bleed or bang your head until all grasp of gravity fails you and the dizziness that ensues, results in severe bouts of projectile vomiting and wide-eyed looks of disbelief on the people around you.”

Metal Kitty saysawright, let’s do this

We’re writing about Nylithia because of their video for “Immersed In The Maniacal” — from their forthcoming new album “Hypertrash” — explained by the Nylithians as such (from Metal Underground):

The video was filmed for the track “Immersed In The Maniacal” and features raw footage captured during the recent riots in the band’s hometown. The band commented on the video by saying;

“We incorporated shots of some of the insanity, or the ‘maniacal,’ that was encountered in the most widely video documented riot in history, right here in our hometown after the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup Final. We mixed it with footage of us playing in front of cookie cutter, manicured lawn, neighbourhoods where everything looks the same. In our opinion, equally as maniacal as the riot itself.”

Whoa. That’s deep, bro.

Antisocial behaviour aside, the video’s worth watching because you can mute the music there’s a lot of quality footage. So many unforgettable rioters made the cut — Flash Bang to the Balls Guy, Jumping Over Burning Car Guy, Falling Off a Portable Toilet Guy — but there are some others I haven’t seen before. There’s one girl that gets hit in the head with a ladder, for example. I call her Ladder to the Head Girl.

ANYWAY, here’s the video. It’s could be NSFW, but you can’t really make out anything the lead hairfarmer is singing so you’re probably in the clear. Also, calling it “singing” is rather generous.
